The Arizona Cardinals and New Orleans Saints will compete in the 2012 Pro Football Hall of Fame Game, the NFL announced Wednesday.

The game at Fawcett Stadium will be 8 p.m. Aug. 5 — the Sunday after the Hall of Fame enshrinement. The game will be televised by the NFL Network.

The Saints had previously been reported to be included in the game. Longtime New Orleans tackle Willie Roaf is one of the class of six to be enshrined Aug. 4.

The Cardinals have no tie to this year’s class. The franchise played in the first Hall of Fame Game in 1962 and is 1-1-1 all-time in Canton. The Cardinals last played in Canton in 1986.

The Saints are 1-3 all-time in Canton, having last visited in 2007.

The 2011 Hall of Fame Game was cancelled because of the NFL lockout.

Tickets for the game are priced at $52, $62, and $67 and will go on sale March 13. Additional information on both the Pro Football Hall of Fame Game and the 2012 Enshrinement Ceremony including Enshrinement Festival fan packages can be found on Profootballhof.com.
